WORK - The End of a World
In an unknown country, in a city unknown in an unknown war, agitates underground the elite of an unknown regime. Everything seems to be going for the best. However, the rebels are increasingly active and the android staff are starting to malfunction...
Despite an obscure scenario and the secondary characters sacrificed, this sci-fi work sprinkled with espionage appreciates above all as a political metaphor (even if it collapses, the autocratic system will always be revived from its ashes) taking place in a gigantic tomb (retrofuturistic decorations are very neat) where the graphic paw ofEnki Bilal is immediately recognizable. For in this overwhelming closed-door, degling puppets (an amazing distribution of which Jean-Louis Trintignant and Carole Bouquet) will fight in vain while the revolutionary chaos of the outside is there only to mask the new ascent of the man who already holds power. Did you say visionary?
IMAGE - Rathole
If the fascinating universe of the famous comics author makes its small effect in high definition (the magnificent photo falsely dull of Philippe Welt There are a lot of problems with compression (it's a lot of trouble) and film defects (cleaning leaves something to be desired) that are somewhat dirty.
However, the stability of the image is good at a handful of planes, the 35 mm grain is homogeneous even if thick, the definition is solid all along, the details are remarkable (faces, costumes and decors), the colorimetric palette with cold calibration (grey and blue shades) remains rightly limited and the contrasts, perfectly consistent, deliver sustained blacks and pure whites without bad vivacity.
SON - Desperate Logorrheas
No breath or distortion for this excellent single-phonic 2.0 soundtrack (the original blended with DTS-HD MA) which replaces (while it could have just accompanied) the soundtrack Dolby Digital 5.1 of the DVD released in 2005 by TF1 Video.
The general dynamics are really good, the atmospheres and effects are well distributed (out-of-field shooting, the respiration of the female android, the disturbing noises emanating from the surface), the music composed by Arnaud Devos and Philippe Eidel is integrated harmoniously, and dialogues are intelligible if this is during a completely inaudible exchange (!) about half an hour.
CONCLUSION - The immutability of the ruling caste
Pertinent in his speech and daring in his visuals, the singular Bunker Palace Hotel We arrive for the first time in Blu-ray in a box to its measure (a three-window digitipack surmounted by a beautiful sheath in tone). The A/V services are generally convincing and the supplements are certainly exciting (interview, documentary, report, etc.). A play of choice for fans of Enki Bilal, author-director and tutoring figure of the political SF comic book, which was the first feature film.
